Published: · Updated:
On October 14, Idaho Copper announced an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for its CuMo copper-molybdenum-silver project in Idaho. The base case gives an after-tax net present value of US$1.878 billion at an 8% discount rate and an after-tax internal rate of return of 18.5%.
The model assumes US$1.169 billion in initial capital and US$658 million of expansion in year five. Average annual output over the first 21 years is projected at 41.6 million pounds of copper, 30.5 million pounds of molybdenum and 1.36 million ounces of silver.
